Thanks, sorry for delay in replying - long day at work.

The Ewido scan returned no viruses etc, so not sure if you need the log of that - i've temporaryily lost it as well, I think becuase in safe mode I logged into windows as administrator not me, and now I'm profiled as me in normal mode - can get it if needed.

PowerReg Scheduler is used by many companies as a registration reminder, this is not required and has been know to send infomation about your computer to companies. I strongly recommend that you check this item.O4 - Startup: PowerReg Scheduler.exe

Now please close all windows and browsers, except HijackThis, and have HijackThis fix them by clicking on Fix Checked.

Then,reboot in Safe mode. To reboot in Safe mode:Restart your computer and immediately begin tapping the F8 key on your keyboard. If done right a Windows Advanced Options menu will appear. Select the Safe Mode option and press Enter.

Then, delete Temp Files. To delete temp files:Click on Start and then run, and type %temp% and press the ok button.

This should open up the temp directory that your machine uses. Please delete all files that are found there.

Do this same process for %windir%\temp.

Then, delete Temporary Internet Files. To delete Temporary Internet Files:Open up Internet Explorer, and click on the Tools menu and then Internet Options. At the General tab, which should be the first tab you are currently on, click on the Delete Files button and put a checkmark in Delete offline content. Then press the OK button. This may take quite a while, so do not be alarmed with how long it takes. When it is done, your Temporary Internet Files will now be deleted.

Then, reboot (in the normal mode) and post a new log in this thread. Also, please metion the problems you are experiencing with PC at the moment.
